PA Coat of Arms

Employee of the Year – 2018

Kim Minarchick is honored as Employee of the YearKim Minarchick, is a registered nurse supervisor (RNS) at SCI Mahanoy. As an RNS, she has the difficult job of ensuring that the very busy Medical Department has adequate nursing coverage to ensure 24-hour services in a large and demanding institution with infirmary, despite a significant nursing shortage during her tenure as RNS. 

Kim is very conscientious about providing the best nursing care possible. With all of the changes occurring within the correctional nursing scope recently, she always finds a way to implement the changes, despite any obstacles she may run into. 

Kim can handle any adversity that may occur and still keep on smiling with a positive attitude. She is fair, consistent and respectful to all of her staff. During any absence of the prison's correctional health care administrator, Kim handles any issues that arise within the department. 

With the Medical Department embarking on a difficult transition from paper to electronic documentation, Kim is adapting with the changes to ensure a smooth transition. She has many excellent qualities and is an exceptional RNS.
